mac80211: prepare sta handling for MLO support

2022-04-11T14:42:03Z

Currently in mac80211 each STA object is represented using sta_info datastructure with the associated STA specific information and drivers access ieee80211_sta part of it. With MLO (Multi Link Operation) support being added in 802.11be standard, though the association is logically with a single Multi Link capable STA, at the physical level communication can happen via different advertised links (uniquely identified by Channel, operating class, BSSID) and hence the need to handle multiple link STA parameters within a composite sta_info object called the MLD STA. The different link STA part of MLD STA are identified using the link address which can be same or different as the MLD STA address and unique link id based on the link vif. To support extension of such a model, the sta_info datastructure is modified to hold multiple link STA objects with link specific params currently within sta_info moved to this new structure. Similarly this is done for ieee80211_sta as well which will be accessed within mac80211 as well as by drivers, hence trivial driver changes are expected to support this. For current non MLO supported drivers, only one link STA is present and link information is accessed via 'deflink' member. For MLO drivers, we still need to define the APIs etc. to get the correct link ID and access the correct part of the station info. Currently in mac80211, all link STA info are accessed directly via deflink. These will be updated to access via link pointers indexed by link id with MLO support patches, with link id being 0 for non MLO supported cases. Except for couple of macro related changes, below spatch takes care of updating mac80211 and driver code to access to the link STA info via deflink. @ieee80211_sta@ struct ieee80211_sta *s; struct sta_info *si; identifier var = {supp_rates, ht_cap, vht_cap, he_cap, he_6ghz_capa, eht_cap, rx_nss, bandwidth, txpwr}; @@ ( s-> - var + deflink.var | si->sta. - var + deflink.var ) @sta_info@ struct sta_info *si; identifier var = {gtk, pcpu_rx_stats, rx_stats, rx_stats_avg, status_stats, tx_stats, cur_max_bandwidth}; @@ ( si-> - var + deflink.var ) Signed-off-by: Sriram R Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/1649086883-13246-1-git-send-email-quic_srirrama@quicinc.com [remove MLO-drivers notes from commit message, not clear yet; run spatch] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

rtlwifi: replace usage of found with dedicated list iterator variable

2022-04-06T12:11:58Z

To move the list iterator variable into the list_for_each_entry_*() macro in the future it should be avoided to use the list iterator variable after the loop body. To *never* use the list iterator variable after the loop it was concluded to use a separate iterator variable instead of a found boolean [1]. This removes the need to use a found variable and simply checking if the variable was set, can determine if the break/goto was hit.

If alloc_workqueue() fails, properly catch this and propagate the error to the calling functions, so that the devuce initialization will properly error out.

Revert "rtlwifi: fix a potential NULL pointer dereference"

2021-05-13T15:30:24Z

This reverts commit 765976285a8c8db3f0eb7f033829a899d0c2786e. Because of recent interactions with developers from @umn.edu, all commits from them have been recently re-reviewed to ensure if they were correct or not. Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons below, so it must be reverted. It will be fixed up "correctly" in a later kernel change. This commit is not correct, it should not have used unlikely() and is not propagating the error properly to the calling function, so it should be reverted at this point in time. Also, if the check failed, the work queue was still assumed to be allocated, so further accesses would have continued to fail, meaning this patch does nothing to solve the root issues at all.

rtlwifi: Simplify locking of a skb list accesses

2021-04-17T17:32:04Z

The 'c2hcmd_lock' spinlock is only used to protect some __skb_queue_tail() and __skb_dequeue() calls. Use the lock provided in the skb itself and call skb_queue_tail() and skb_dequeue(). These functions already include the correct locking.

net: rtlwifi: Replace in_interrupt() for context detection

2020-09-29T21:02:55Z

rtl_lps_enter() and rtl_lps_leave() are using in_interrupt() to detect whether it is safe to acquire a mutex or if it is required to defer to a workqueue. The usage of in_interrupt() in drivers is phased out and Linus clearly requested that code which changes behaviour depending on context should either be seperated or the context be conveyed in an argument passed by the caller, which usually knows the context. in_interrupt() also is only partially correct because it fails to chose the correct code path when just preemption or interrupts are disabled. Add an argument 'may_block' to both functions and adjust the callers to pass the context information. The following call chains were analyzed to be safe to block: rtl_watchdog_wq_callback() rlf_lps_leave/enter() rtl_op_suspend() rtl_lps_leave() rtl_op_bss_info_changed() rtl_lps_leave() rtl_op_sw_scan_start() rtl_lps_leave() The following call chains were analyzed to be unsafe to block: _rtl_pci_interrupt() _rtl_pci_rx_interrupt() rtl_lps_leave() _rtl_pci_interrupt() _rtl_pci_rx_interrupt() rtl_is_special_data() rtl_lps_leave() _rtl_pci_interrupt() _rtl_pci_rx_interrupt() rtl_is_special_data() setup_special_tx() rtl_lps_leave() _rtl_pci_interrupt() _rtl_pci_tx_isr rtl_lps_leave() halbtc_leave_lps() rtl_lps_leave() This leaves four callers of rtl_lps_enter/leave() where the analyzis stopped dead in the maze of several nested pointer based callchains and lack of rtlwifi hardware to debug this via tracing: halbtc_leave_lps(), halbtc_enter_lps(), halbtc_normal_lps(), halbtc_pre_normal_lps() These four have been cautionally marked to be unable to block which is the safe option, but the rtwifi wizards should be able to clarify that.

net: rtlwifi: Remove void* casts related to delayed work

2020-09-29T21:02:55Z

INIT_DELAYED_WORK() takes two arguments: A pointer to the delayed work and a function reference for the callback. The rtl code casts all function references to (void *) because the callbacks in use are not matching the required function signature. That's error prone and bad pratice. Some of the callback functions are also global, but only used in a single file. Clean the mess up by: - Adding the proper arguments to the callback functions and using them in the container_of() constructs correctly which removes the hideous container_of_dwork_rtl() macro as well. - Removing the type cast at the initializers - Making the unnecessary global functions static Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Acked-by: Kalle Valo Signed-off-by: David S.
